In often angry and bitter words, workers injured in BP PLC's deadly 2005 plant explosion as well as the families of those killed have called on a federal judge to reject a plea agreement that would end a criminal probe of the accident.
Several relatives of workers killed in the accident have asked to speak during a court hearing Monday in which a federal judge could decide whether to accept the plea agreement, which proposes the London-based company pay a $50 million (€33.62 million) fine for its role in the Texas City explosion.
BP and the Department of Justice have defended the plea agreement, saying it is the harshest option available in assessing criminal punishment for the blast, which killed 15 workers and injured more than 170 others.
